Aaron is a director, playwright, former Artistic Director, and a professor at American University in Washington, DC. He is beyond grateful to have made an artistic home in the American Regional Theatre since co-founding Philadelphia’s Arden Theatre Company in 1988. He has been fortunate to direct nearly 200 plays (!!!) at major regional theaters across the country. As a playwright, his re-imaging of Chekhov’s The Seagull— entitled Stupid F**king Bird—has had more than 250 productions worldwide. His other widely produced plays include Nothing Up My Sleeve (with Dendy), A Murder, A Mystery & A Marriage (with James Sugg), Life Sucks, No Sisters, JQA, District Merchants, The Chosen, My Name Is Asher Lev, and many more. Aaron has won more than 20 regional theatre awards in cities across the country. He is thrilled to be back directing at APT for the sixth time!
